Dynamic Power Allocation for Mandatory and Optional Consumption Points
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Power-consuming systems face challenges in efficiently allocating energy between mandatory and optional consumption points, particularly when energy sources are finite, leading to potential failures in essential functions when optional devices are prioritized over necessary ones.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for autonomous power allocation that identifies mandatory consumption points, calculates their energy requirements, and dynamically prioritizes optional points based on available energy, ensuring that mandatory functions are always supported while allocating power to optional devices within a designated quota.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If power is allocated to optional consumption points, then device functionality and user experience are improved, but the risk of energy depletion and system failure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments power consumption into mandatory consumption points (essential functions) and optional consumption points (non-essential functions). This segmentation allows the system to prioritize power allocation to mandatory points while limiting optional points to a predetermined quota, ensuring system reliability while maintaining functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts power allocation parameters based on available energy. When energy is abundant, more power can be allocated to optional consumption points. When energy is constrained, the system automatically reduces allocation to optional points while maintaining mandatory point operation, thus adapting to varying energy conditions.
2Reliability
If mandatory consumption points are prioritized, then system reliability is improved, but flexibility in power distribution is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power allocation where the system continuously monitors energy availability and adjusts power distribution in real-time. The predetermined quota for optional consumption points can be adjusted based on current energy levels, allowing the system to maintain reliability while adapting to changing energy conditions and user needs.
3Productivity
If autonomous power allocation is implemented, then energy management efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs autonomous power allocation by automatically identifying mandatory and optional consumption points, calculating power requirements, and distributing power without external intervention. This self-service mechanism improves energy management efficiency while the complexity is contained within the system's internal control logic.

AI summary
Mandatory and optional consumption points are identified to support management of power allocation. A mandatory consumption point is a consumption point required to function at a given time and an optional consumption point is a discretionary consumption point. The energy required for mandatory consumption points to complete their designated functions is calculated. An energy quota is designated for power allocation to the optional consumption points in response to the mandatory consumption point calculation, and the identification of available energy. Energy required for optional consumption points to complete their designated functions is calculated. The optional consumption points are dynamically prioritized and power is allocated to the optional consumption points responsive to this prioritization and with respect to the designated energy quota.
